The effect of having version="1.0" is that the stylesheet runs in "backwards 
compatibility mode", meaning that some constructs behave as described in XSLT 
1.0 / XPath 1.0 rather than as defined in 2.0/3.0. For example, xsl:value-of 
applied to a sequence of several nodes displays the first in 1.0 mode, but 
throws an error in 2.0 / 3.0 mode.


Correction. xsl:value-of in 2.0 displays all the nodes. I was thinking of the 
string() function: in 1.0 this displays the first node, while in 2.0 it throws 
an error.

My memory of 1.0 is getting rusty - it's almost 20 years old, after all!
